The Unexpected Hero

Powers

It's been a few more weeks.

"Dammit I'm late" Hikaru said while running through the halls.
He busts through the door to his spell class.
The whole class turned to look at him and Koya looked at him a chuckled.
"Come on Hikaru just sit down, we have a sub today anyways, he's in the bathroom" he continued to laugh a little.
"Oh whatever, shut the hell up!" He said to Koya and sat behind him.
"Ah sorry about that class, my name is Mr. Rizu, and I will be filling in for Mr. Okumura". He then smiled at the class like he was excited to see what they could do.
Hikaru looked at him then put his head down cuz he was really tired, he stayed up late the night before studying for his math exam today.
"Hey Hikaru maybe you should sit up so you don't get in trouble" Koya said tapping his shoulder.
Hikaru lifted his head up and turned around and glared at him.
"Piss off" he said then laid his head back down.
"Well Mr....." the substitute said before looking at the role so he wouldn't mess up his name.
"Ah Mr. Matsui! You'll be up first since you want to sleep". He chuckled then handed him the spell book.
Hikaru stood up in front of the class looking like he hadn't slept in days.
Koya smiled at him "it's page.."
"I know what page!!" Hikaru snapped at him not wanting any help.
He turned to page 257 in the spell book and put his hand out in front of him and said "Asraft Atocious Metom" then a huge cloud of smoke filled the classroom. Hikaru watched the smoke at is got lighter and lighter and started to fade away.
"Very good, I can see that you study on weather magic" Mr. Rizu said.
Hikaru began to walk back to his seat.
"Actually, it isn't just weather magic it is also classified as cloaking magic, because the smoke is so dark then fades, it gives a person so much time to get away from someone, they are practically hidden in the smoke, therefore it would make their opponent not be able to see them".
Koya looked at him in disbelief.
"Wow I didn't know you were that smart Hikaru"
"What'd you just say pipsqueak!!" Hikaru said then grabbed his collar.
"Ok ok, sorry I didn't mean it like that I just...uh..."
Hikaru let him go then turned back around in his seat, "whatever just shut up".
A few other kids then did a few spells and the bell rang.
One of the girls came up to Hikaru and tried to walk him to his next class.
"Hey! You were pretty cool and really smart, we should hang out some time" she said in a really flirty way.
Hikaru rolled his eyes, "oh please I wouldn't hang out with you if you were the last person on earth".
She was a bit surprised since no boy had ever turned her down before.
A few tears went down her face, "well fine I can go find someone else you..you big jerk!" She ran away wiping her tears.
"Damn, why'd you have to say that to Azumi, she's a pretty nice girl" Hanabusa said while closing his locker and walking next to him.
"She doesn't seem so nice, she just wants to get into my pants, she doesn't seem like the kind of girl that actually cares about a real relationship" Hikaru said.
"So! Then let her, she's gorgeous" Hanabusa said because he was so confused that Hikaru would turn down such a gorgeous girl.
"I don't need a relationship, and I sure as hell don't want one with her, she's slutty" Hikaru said then rolled his eyes.
"Well I guess it doesn't matter, that just gives me a chance to get with her" Hanabusa said then laughed.
Hikaru looked at him and cracked a smile.
"You're so stupid"
Hanabusa just laughed and they walked to their next class and sat down in the middle row.
"Why do we even have this class it's just like another fighting class...it makes no sense" Hanabusa whispered to Hikaru.
Mr. Ootori then smacked Hikaru and Hanabusa's desk and it made a loud bang.
Hikaru and Hanabusa looked up startled.
"Well boys, this class is different from your self defense class because this class teaches you how to respond in certain situations, how to keep calm, how to protect others and not just yourself, and it helps you learn more about your powers" He smirked at the boys.
"So since you two think this class is meaningless why don't you two go first!"
"I didn't even say anything" Hikaru said under his breath while sticking his hands in his pockets.
The rest of the class watched including Koya.
"Ok Hikaru today is the first day that we will be allowed to use our powers in class, our own powers! So show us, but don't hurt anyone please"
Hikaru stood a little bit aways from the class just in case, he then put his hand out in front of him and closed his eyes trying to concentrate.
Then all of a sudden he could hear the flames crackling on his palm. He opened his eyes and saw Koya looking at him, he saw that he was in awe but he looked back at his teacher not wanting to look at him any longer.
"Well done Hikaru, that is quite a power you've got" Mr. Ootori said.
"Oh I'm not done yet" he smirked then looked at Koya then beside him.
Koya looked over to the side of him to see a snake slithering around his ankle.
"Oh please stop, make it stop!" Koya said while sweating and putting his head down on his desk.
Hikaru stopped and then it was gone and he started laughing.
"Hahahahaha you're such a little dweeb!"
Mr. Ootori looked at Hikaru and so did the rest of the class, they looked confused.
"I don't understand, how did you do that...what type of power is that?"
"It's a hallucination power, I can make people see and hear whatever I want, it screws with the mind, but it can't really hurt you...at least not physically. Hikaru said then sat back next to Hanabusa, he then chucked again at Koya.
Koya huffed and just payed back attention to Mr. Ootori.
"Hanabusa your turn"
Hanabusa walked up to the front of the class.
"Can someone please give me a piece of paper?"
A boy then walked up to him and handed him a blank sheet of white paper.
"Thanks Riku" he said then smiled at him as the nice boy went back to his seat.
The class was confused when they saw Hanabusa walk a few steps towards the center of the class, set the piece of paper on the floor then walked back to the front of the class but they still watched, they we're now curious. Hikaru watched as well wondering what he was doing.
Hanabusa then clinched his fist out in front of himself and opened his hand, lighting shot right off his finger tips. It caught the piece of paper on fire and left a little black spot on the wooden floor.
"My power is electricity manipulation! I've learned how to control it well that's why I felt comfortable doing it inside"
Mr. Ootori was pretty amazed, "well that's quite a power my boy, now who's up next?"
Hikaru pointed at Koya, "I think the pipsqueak should go next, there is no way that he's gonna have a good power, let alone make a great witch, he's too small, he'll never be intimidating" he said while laughing.
Koya stood up so fast his chair flew a little back behind him
"Oh what do you know! You haven't even seen it yet!" He said then walked up to the front of the class.
Hikaru was still smirking but his smirk soon faded away when he saw that Koya put his hand up and suddenly Hikaru's book flew off his desk.
"What the hell" Hikaru said.
"Don't underestimate me, I may be small but I have power, after all I can move things with my mind" Koya said then clinched his fists, but then just took a breath to calm down, he went to sit back at his desk but he got a few high fives.
"Hey man that was cool!" A boy said.
"Yea you've got a cool power" A girl named Rin said.
"Yea if I had that power I would use it to mess with people all the time" another boy said and laughed.
Koya just smiled and looked back at Hikaru but he was gone, he then heard Mr. Ootori yell, "Mr. Matsui! You don't need to just lea-" he didn't get to finish before the door was slammed.
"Damn demons, they've got such a temper" a random boy said under his breath.
Mr. Ootori sighed, "will someone please go try and get him back into class?"
Hanabusa stood up, "I will si-" he didn't get to finish because Koya had already opened the door and walked out.
"Hikaru, Hika-" was all he said before he saw Hikaru standing up against the lockers.
Hikaru just stood there with his head down saying nothing.
Koya just walked up to him and said nothing for a couple seconds, "Why....why do you treat me like I'm a snob?" he asked.
"Because you had everything HANDED TO YOU!!" Hikaru said, he was trying his best not to cry but a few tears did escape him.
"You have no idea what it's like...to be a demon..." Hikaru said then looked down and a few tears dropped off his chin.
Koya just looked at him, not knowing what to say.
"You get treated like scum.." Hikaru said while looking down at the floor not wanting to look him in the eyes then his eyes shifted, "everyone thinks you're untrustworthy..."
"So when I found out I was a witch too...I did my best to get to where I am!!" Be said while raising his voice a little, then looked back at Koya with no more tears in his eyes just anger.
"And you....you're just getting in my way" he said before turning around and walking away.
Koya just stood there in silence, he looked kind of sad but he didn't do anything, he just looked at the floor and sighed.
